Jump to Registry Key via Right-Click Context Menu

Sat, Nov 1, 2008

Freeware, Windows

The image below, pretty much tells it all, but the application I’m bring you today is called RegJump, and it’s brought to you by Microsoft(Systernals) ironically.

I’ve wanted something like this for quite a while, but am now just discovering it.  RegJump is a simple command utlity that allows you to browse directly to a registry ‘path’ without the need of digging.  What WinHelpOnline has done, is given instructions on adding this awesome Windows utility to your right-click context menu.  The problem is however that it is only compatible with Internet Explorer, and isn’t installed on every computer in the world.  I really need this application when I’m at a machine that requires a registry edit and don’t want to browse through the deep and annoying registry.

I plan to implement RegJump and these below instructions to each and every PC I setup from now on.

Windows XP

1. Download regjump_xp.zip, unzip and extract the contents to a folder.

2. Double-click regjump.reg to run it.

3. Move the file regjump.htm to the C:WindowsWeb directory.

Windows Vista

1. Download regjump_vista.zip, unzip and extract the contents to a folder.

2. Double-click regjump.reg to run it.

3. Move the file regjump.htm to the C:WindowsWeb directory.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about.
